The Ncwes Wiener Tagblatt informs us
that the Prince Of Wales is regarded on
the continent as having n singular lucky
hand at games of chance. "Hhe day be-
fore the earthquake he appeared in
Monaco. and tried his luck in jest at
trentc ct quaruntc. His success was 50
satisfactory that the prince resolved to
ycnHlrc ut roulette the sum which he had
won at the other game. Here again luck
followed him like II dutiful servant, and
in very short space of time he left the
salon with gain of GG00 sterling" The
incident reminds the Vienna journal OF
the equally fortunate play of the prince %
year ago, when he was the guest of Count
Tatllo Fastetics ut Buda-pesth. I'm one
single night the future ruler of England
won nearly n quarter of a million gilden
in q well known aristOcratic club. The
prince told his fellow players that he
would give them an opportunity for re-
venCe as soon as he returned from his
hunting tour. Fourteen days later he
appeared NJ the club, according to his pro.
mise. The revenge however cost his
opponents 5000 florins!" 1t appears from
the same journal that the heir to the
Austro-lIungarian throne, the Crown
Prince Rudolph, is not quiet so prodigal
and reckless in gaming as the Hungarian
mobiles. He will only play for very small
stakes, like the aged German emperor,
who thinks that n sum of fifty pfcnnig Is
as much as a king or prince should VEN
ture at u time.--Pall Mall Gazette.

SENATOR MITCHELL will endeavor to
secure the admission OF Washington

of congress. That he is honest in this
expression of good will we do not

CONSIDERABLE has been said OF late
in regard to the city's financial condi-
tion. This has grown out OF the APP
pOintment of an expert to examine

accountant would develop some start

tendency to cause strangers to heSi-

Interesting to NOn-Rcstdent Taxpayers
The Court of Errors and Appeals han led
down decision of afirmance to-day in the
case of William e. Dodge against James Fl.
Love, City Collector. The decision set
ties point which will be of interest to non
resident taxpayers. Dodge. who is non
resident, owns property in this county, the
assessed valuation upon which was consid-
cred too low by the assessors. The assess
ment upon the property was increased, but
no notice of the fact was given to Dodge.
The Statute provides that before any such
change of valuation upon property is made,
notice must be gwen to the owners of the
property, and Dodge claims that he never
received such notice. The decision handed
down to-. day is that nonresident property
holders are not entitled, under the provis-
ions of the Statute, to notice of change in
the assessed value OF their property.

THE KIMBALL GRAPHIC.
BY c. r. TlNAN.

In recent issue of the Canton News
considerable space was devoted to show
ing the impractlcability of too much
"b6iling down" business in newspaper
writing. Among other things the Nsws
said tb " in ninety-nine cases out of a
hundred if an occurrence is worthy of
mention at al. it k worthy Of enough
space for PARTICULARS. The Neps has got
the right idea Of the matter exactly.
Apropos OF the sabject: A city news
paper man, who had been trained to boil
down everything, once bought out a
country Newspaper. but the inhabitants
did not take kindly to,his brief way of
mentioning matters. When one of the
oldest inhabitants went to work one day,
and did some fixing up. he expected q.
least column triple-headed article about
village improvements but the editor only
put ina town item saying that; "iMr.
Smithers had at last put much needed
coat of paint on his barn" This was
bad enough. but when one of their most
respected and beloved inhabitants went
to the next town on railroad train and
ws2 sent home badly scalded from par
ticipating in aboiler explosion, and the
paper only remarked: "Our steamed fel.
low citizen, Deacon Smiler has returned
from his trip" they thought it was too
brief. and 80 of the Al subscribers stop
ped their paper and the publication went
to the wall.

An article In recent issue Of the
Voice. the great temperance organ, in re-
ts.icn to the workings of the prohibition
Awtn Maine, has attracted great deal
of attention. The Voice has been put
ting questions to representative men in
Bangor as to the enforcement of the
prohibitory law. 1t prints answers
from eighteen persons-most OF them
,clergymen, lawyers and Physicians
They all agree in saying that the 'prohib-
itory law is not enforced. They do not
agree in the reasons for non enforce
ment, and they differ widely as to- the
readiaess Of public sentiment to support
the law. The article. of which these
7ettcrs form part, attracts great at
tention because ~ Maine has had thirty
years experience with prohibition (2)
The Voice is great organ OF the prohi-
biiionists. However, it must be borne
IN mind that the city Of Bangor is not
Maine, but only an inf1nitesimal part.
Investigation would undoubtedly reYeal
the fact that in the smaller towns and
cities and in the rural communities the
prohibitory law is fairly well enforced
enongh so to warrant the assumption
tsaat the law is not 3 dead failure. This
is the experience of all states that have
tried prohibition. The prohibitory law
works well in rural communities. but is
Snpracticable in large towns and cities.
